We're now into the fourth decade of hundreds of millions of women taking the pill for 10-15 years (often with interruptions to have a baby) so if it had an effect on delaying menopause we'd already be seeing it.

Women have been taking them for more like 70 years. Since the early 1960's in the U.S. And many take them far longer than 15 years. Start in one's teens and may take them into one's 50's.

I agree we know it does not stop menopause. Or everyone I know would still be taking the pill.
